Hi @rohitvjoshi ,
you can use this command to view your certificate expiry date:-

$ openssl x509 -noout -enddate -in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/auth/server.pem

Hope it helps!!
Thanks

I have to run this on bin right?

No, not in bin. Run it directly in your root directory.
For example:-

[root@localhost ~]# pwd
/root
[root@localhost ~]# openssl x509 -noout -enddate -in /opt/splunk/etc/auth/server.pem

Splunk does ship with openssl binary in $splunkhome/bin

This is true for the UF and full installs. So if openssl isn't installed on the server, you can try using the one that ships with splunk.
